Just out of interest do you lease or own your workshop space?

[@nickrendell4300]

The 205 GTI is such an icon, every 205 GTI out there still needs some good tender loving care like you are doing.

[@BittnerBuddenbrock]

you are truly an amazingly creative person! Not only are you mechanically inclined but also exceptionally lucky to have a workshop with seemingly no limits however someone else would hardly have the artistic creativity you have shown to your audience since the rebuild of George! Your choice of music with which you backup your videos alone deserves a price. Now it is for me to find the end - still blown by your creativity.

Man I just continue to just be impressed of how relaxing watching you work on a car can be! And once in a while you just casually drop world class cinematography as well. I am really happy with your content just wish it was uploaded more regularly I think that could boost your channels popularity. Cheers.

Seeing a guy remove rusty parts from an old car shouldn't be interesting, but there's a humour, honesty, enthusiasm, and relatability that makes it so watchable.

I have deja vu watching this, as i have a Citroen ZX Volcane that i've been working on for 10 months. So much is the same or almost the same. Engine mounts, the cradle under the engine, transmission, half-shafts, auspuff routing, rear suspension (except mine has discs), and even the spare wheel holder. Very similar car, the ZX was the first car made under PSA collab, hence it's so much like a 205/309. The ZX has the same chassis as the 306. Good luck with the restoration!

Ich glaub's ja nicht... Ich hatte einen 205 XS und ich habe das Auto geliebt. Als ein LKW (meine Schuld) uns trennte kaufte ich etwas etwas ganz anderes und da ich mit einem VW Porsche 914 zuvor eher schlechte Erfahrung mit der Substanz gemacht hatte sollte es der Nachfolger sein - ein 924 ;-) Den fuhr ich mehrere Jahre und dann stand er erst 20 Jahre in der Garage während ich mich an einem Citroen XM (V6, 3 l - geiles Gerät!) und diversen Volvos erfreute. Bis mich ein Kumpel dann eines Tages auf Deine Vidoes hier aufmerksam machte die mich wehmütig in Richtung Garage blicken ließen. Der 924 wurde wieder auf Vordermann gebracht und ist nun seit einem Jahr mit H-Kennzeichen wieder auf süddeutschen Straßen unterwegs. Danke hierfür ;-)

Awesome Watch 👌👍

Just come across your channel my first car was a 1.6 gti and I’m looking to get another one in the next year, when you started talking about the sump plug I immediately remembered my dad grinding the socket(I still have it in my tool box) then seeing do it brought back so many good memories thank you. Will now sit down and watch this series.

Very glad to have found this series, looking forward to following your progress restoring my all time favourite car. Best of luck

[@danielgill9846]

I started with the same sentiments as yourself in 2017 to make it tidy..but I just got carried away and I have overhauled all the underside paint and all, I hope to rebuild my engine and box this year and then get the shell painted next year but I have not had chance to make progress for 2 years so your series has inspired me to pull my finger out, thank you for this!

[@pirateradio1926]

I really like your channel well presented and good camera work. You have successfully captured the art of turning a wrench, and manage to convey the detailed process of mechanical craftsmanship while keeping your videos engaging.
